Catechism of Hate

Hate. Hate is the greatest gift of humanity. This is the source of wrath and the steel behind our will. Amen.
Treason. The Unpardonable Sin. This is what we hate, above all else. Amen.
All sins but Treason may be forgiven, though they exact a harsh toll. What is the toll? The toll is death. Amen.
Who shall deliver the price? Who indeed but we, Chosen of Terra? We bring death. Amen.
We live to kill. We kill for Terra. Amen.

Fear denies faith! And Happiness is a delusion of the weak. It is better that a thousand innocent die than a single guilty man draw breath. This is the power of hate. This is how we kill. This is how we hate. Amen.

Hate the Xeno! The Xeno is wretched. The Xeno longs to debase mankind. Better a thousand innocent die than the seed of alien-worship corrupt a million. Thus we kill for Terra.

Hate the Mutant! The Mutant is the offspring of Man, but he is a beast. The Mutant’s desires may be pure, but his body can never be pure. Mankind will not be clean until the last is dead. Better the mother of a mutant-to-be die than that the twisted fruit of her womb offend the sacred thing that is Man. Thus we hate for Terra.

Hate the Heretic! The Heretic is more vile than either Mutant or Xeno, for he had a choice. He had a choice, and he chose the way of damnation. Even the suspicion of heresy is cause enough to kill. A martyr’s death brings glory to Terra. A heretic’s death brings glory to Terra. Thus we hate. Thus we kill.

Hate the Traitor! The Traitor is damned, for he has betrayed his humanity. He drove the darkness away with a snarl. He felt pain in his shoulder, but nothing in his left arm. It dangled by a shred of flesh and armor. Weakness surged against his resolve, and he drove it back with hate. The Traitor is reviled, for he has turned against his faith.

“Do you know why?”
The cause of treason is irrelevant. The means of treason are irrelevant.
“Do you know why I hate them?”
The Traitor is pursued, for his very existence is anathema. No matter who, no matter where, we burn them down.

Thus we kill for Terra. Thus we kill, and ever shall kill. For to kill is our law. To hate is our creed. While the enemies of Terra yet draw breath…
There can be no forgiveness. Amen.
